That was my fault. Of course, loading the patched isearch.el didn't
make the changed isearch-mode-map active (defvar). It works fine, now.
Usability-wise, C-s foo C-<number> C-s makes only sense if that
keystroke is shorter to type than C-s multiple times. So maybe the
numbering should start with some offset, say, with the 5th next match?
And the typing of C-s after the number is a bit inconvenient, so maybe,
C-7 could jump directly to the match hinted with 7, and only for
two-digit matches C-s was needed, i.e., C-u 1 2 C-s to jump to the 12th
match?
Bye,
